Car Key Replacement & Auto Locksmith for Kew homes and businesses
Losing the only key to a car is one of the few problems that can strand you completely. Our auto vans carry key blanks, cutting equipment and programming hardware, so in most cases we come to the car rather than the car going anywhere. That includes the harder job — all keys lost, where there is no existing key to clone from.
Why Kew in particular
The housing here is substantial and detached, which changes the problem from one door to a perimeter. Keying the whole property alike is usually the first thing worth doing. Solid timber doors from this era are worth keeping, and usually can be — a rekey, a reinforced strike and long screws into the jamb do more than a replacement door would.
Getting to you
Our vans work out of Richmond, so Kew is a straightforward run at most hours. It is one of the larger suburbs we cover, so there is usually a van working the area rather than heading to it. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Kew 3101 in full: Asquith Street, Barkers Road and Burke Road, through to the blocks around Adeney Private Hospital and Alexandra Gardens.

Car Key Replacement & Auto Locksmith in Kew — common questions
How quickly can you get to Kew for car key replacement & auto locksmith?
30 minutes is the target. Our vans work out of Richmond, so Kew is a straightforward run at most hours. It is one of the larger suburbs we cover, so there is usually a van working the area rather than heading to it. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Do I have to tow it to the dealer?
Usually not. For the large majority of makes on Melbourne roads we can cut and program at the kerbside. A tow is the slow, expensive path and it is rarely the necessary one.
What do you need from me?
Photo ID, proof you own the vehicle — registration papers or the certificate of registration — and the VIN. We will not program a key to a car without them, which is precisely what stops someone else doing it to yours.
I still have one key. Is a spare cheaper than waiting?
Cutting a spare while you still have a working key is a much simpler job than an all-keys-lost program. If you are down to one key, that is the moment to get a second one made.
